1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to wall brackets, and particularly to a motorcycle windshield storage wall bracket that is utilized to store removable motorcycle windshields to prevent damage.
2. Description of the Related Art
The handling and storage of glass items must be done in a gentle and careful manner. U.S. Pat. No. 4,093,251, issued to Boyer, U.S. Pat. No. 5,465,883, issued to Woodward and U.S. Pat. No. 6,247,602, issued to Norton et al. appear to be drawn to the handling of automotive windshields, not to motorcycle windshields. Different types of removable windshields are known in the art. Examples of these are U.S. Design Pat. No. 431,804, issued to Willey, U.S. Pat. No. 5,658,035, issued to Armstrong, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,254,155, issued to Willey.
None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singularly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed. Thus, a motorcycle windshield storage wall bracket solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
The present invention is a windshield storage wall bracket that is fastened to the wall to help keep the windshield secure. The wall bracket has two main frames that have bent ends that allow side pieces to be attached. The side pieces hold rubber grommets in place utilizing nut and bolt assemblies. The windshield is simply placed over the grommets, securing the windshield in place.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to prevent a removable motorcycle windshield from damage during storage by providing a wall bracket which keeps the windshield high and off the floor.
It is another object of the invention to utilize the mechanism that attaches the windshield to the motorcycle to attach it to a storage wall bracket.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a motorcycle windshield storage bracket which is securely mounted to a wall.
It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
The present invention is drawn to a windshield storage wall bracket 10 that holds a removable motorcycle windshield 30. The wall bracket 10 has two elongated main wall frames 12. Each main wall frame 12 is a flat bar having ends 12e that extend perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the main wall frame 12, preferably by bending the ends of the bar, and which can accept the side piece 14. The side pieces 14 are flat bars attached to the ends 12e of the main wall frames 12 by a nut and bolt assembly 18. In the drawings, a wing nut and bolt assembly 18 is utilized.
Between the side pieces 14 and the ends 12e, rubber grommets 16 are placed to allow the attachment panels 32 of the windshield 30 to be securely attached to the wall bracket 10. The rubber grommets 16 are held in place by the nut and bolt assemblies 18 passing therethrough. The rubber grommets 16 are sized according to the size needed to attach the removable windshield 30. The wall bracket 10 is attached to the wall utilizing fasteners 20 to attach the main wall frames 12 to the wall. The type of fasteners 20 used with the wall bracket 10 depend on the type of material that the wall is constructed from, i.e., concrete, brick or dry wall.
The side pieces 14 and the elongated main wall frames 12 with the ends 12e can be made of metal, preferably flat bar mild steel. As shown in
It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
